Thursday 85 68 .til Friday 78 55 Saturday 83 53 Sunday 83 62 02 Monday 76 47 Tuesday 86 48 Earliest Dutch tulip grower thought bulbs were onions (Editor's Note: John Burmeister, a resident of the Union Rest Home from the fyew Haven area, has been asked by a number of poo jle to write a series of articles on tulip culture. Mr. Burmeister formerly planted as many as 10,000 tulip bulbs in one season. The article below is a beginning. Cultural directions by Mr1. Burmeister will follow in a later article.) BY JOHN BURMEISTER If you're planting tulips for the first time this fall, don't be dismayed by the unromantic shape of this glamorous flower ilk its bulb state. You're not the only person who thought a bulb looked like an onion! About 300 years ago, before the Dutch had even started cultivating tulips, an Antwerp merchant found a few bulbs in a bale of cloth sent from Constantinople. The bulbs were still rare outside the Middle East and the unsuspecting merchant, mistaking them for a type of onion, ate them with a dressing of oil and vinegar. You certainly are not hungry enough to eat a bulb, but you may be curious to know what nature has stored in that plump brown nugget If you were to neel a bulb, you'd strip off layer after layer of fleshy scales in which nature has thoughtfully stored the plant's food and energy. The scales are also the basis from which the leaves grew. Keep on peeling and you'll finally reach the bud, a perfectly formed flower complete with leaves, petals, stamens and pistils in the embryonic stage. That's why tulip bulbs require so little attention from the garden- civ Thy can raid their own natural larder for all the vitamins they need. Of all the various bulb flowers, which include hyacinths, daffodils, crocus, snowdrops, etc., tulips are by far the most popular. Why does a woman aoDreciate a bouquet of tulips? Perhaps it's the beauty of flowers express untold words of tenderness that only a woman can understand. Perhaps it's because the live, brilliant beauty of flowers create such joy, but don't try to reason why . . . just give her tulips You'll know by the expression on her face that they'll go straight to her heart. According to Government statistics American gardeners will plant some 60,000,000 tulip bulbs or more than one for every woman and child in the U.S. Patrol to use all facilities over holiday The last big holiday week-end of the summer, Labor Day, will be upon Franklin Countians, starting Friday afternoon and continuing' until Tuesday morning.

In Union, most stores and ser vices will not be in operatioq. Service stations on the highway and some of the cafes will be open for business. .The bank and post office will be doled. At the post office, there will be no window service, city or rural deliveries. As Labor Day comes on the first of the month, this will really stack up the mail for the carriers on Tuesday. The lobby will be open Monday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mail departures will be made at 4 p.m. if mailed in the front box or lobby before that time.. The highway post office mail box cast of the courthouse will be available after that time for the Hypo" mail service as usual at 8:15 p.m. Both drug stores will close on Labor Day.

Jir my Mueller, 15, shoots 2 wolves Fifteen-year-old James J. Mueller of Union had the thrill of his young life Sunday morning. He shot and killed two wolves and thereby earned $30 in bounties from the county. Jimmy and his father, Emil Mueller, of Route 1. Union, were hunting on the Louis Schmidt farm north of Neier after church Sunday. A friend, Allen Meyer accompanied them. While visiting Mr. Schmidt a few days earlier about the prospects of drilling a water well, the farm owner told them he had seen some big wolves on his place. Jimmy, his dad and Allen spotted a pack of seven in a field. Jimmy used a 12-gauge, single barrel shot gun to kill a 19pound female and a 32-pound male. He earned a bounty of $15 on each one which the county court paid Monday.

Mr. Burmeister formerly planted as many as 10,000 tulip bulbs in one season. The article below is a beginning. Cultural directions by Mr1. Burmeister will follow in a later article.) BY JOHN BURMEISTER If you're planting tulips for the first time this fall, don't be dismayed by the unromantic shape of this glamorous flower ilk its bulb state. You're not the only person who thought a bulb looked like an onion! About 300 years ago, before the Dutch had even started cultivating tulips, an Antwerp merchant found a few bulbs in a bale of cloth sent from Constantinople. The bulbs were still rare outside the Middle East and the unsuspecting merchant, mistaking them for a type of onion, ate them with a dressing of oil and vinegar. You certainly are not hungry enough to eat a bulb, but you may be curious to know what nature has stored in that plump brown nugget If you were to neel a bulb, you'd strip off layer after layer of fleshy scales in which nature has thoughtfully stored the plant's food and energy. The scales are also the basis from which the leaves grew. Keep on peeling and you'll finally reach the bud, a perfectly formed flower complete with leaves, petals, stamens and pistils in the embryonic stage. That's why tulip bulbs require so little attention from the garden- civ Thy can raid their own natural larder for all the vitamins they need. Of all the various bulb flowers, which include hyacinths, daffodils, crocus, snowdrops, etc., tulips are by far the most popular. Why does a woman aoDreciate a bouquet of tulips? Perhaps it's the beauty of flowers express untold words of tenderness that only a woman can understand. Perhaps it's because the live, brilliant beauty of flowers create such joy, but don't try to reason why . . . just give her tulips You'll know by the expression on her face that they'll go straight to her heart. According to Government statistics American gardeners will plant some 60,000,000 tulip bulbs or more than one for every woman and child in the U.S. Patrol to use all facilities over holiday The last big holiday week-end of the summer, Labor Day, will be upon Franklin Countians, starting Friday afternoon and continuing' until Tuesday morning.

Jir my Mueller, 15, shoots 2 wolves Fifteen-year-old James J. Mueller of Union had the thrill of his young life Sunday morning.
